LEVIN: TRUMP THE GLOBALIST (Mega Hurl Alert)
Conservative Review ^ | May 07, 2016 | Mark R Levin

Posted on 05/07/2016 5:55:33 PM PDT by stratboy

One of the major planks in Donald Trump’s campaign platform, if not the top priority, has been a stalwart insistence that voluntary commerce and trade with other countries weakens America’s economy and costs American jobs. Moreover, he insists that he knows best how to manage it all in the best interests of America. Indeed, Trump has not only proposed slapping a 45 percent tariff on all goods made in China, and massive tariffs on other countries like Japan and Mexico, but he repeatedly declares that he will personally impose punitive taxes on Ford Motor Company if it follows through with plans to build a manufacturing plant in Mexico. He has also threatened punitive penalties against Apple Inc. if it continues making iPhones in China. It would seem, like Barack Obama, Trump has his own autocratic pen and phone. - See more at: https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/05/trump-the-globalist#sthash.ATV8Bnw9.dpuf

After reading the column, I agree with the headline. I’ve seen people get called globalists for far sillier reasons.

The globalist, neocon Levin lies and takes what Trump actually says out of context to create a narrative. Levin is an ass and has always been an ass.

He surely knows that huge tariffs on imports would be an economic disaster.

Yes, we just have to look at the huge disaster high tariffs have wrought for Japan, China, Vietnam, etc.

Levin, is in essence, now a Hillary operative. Mark Levin has become a tool for the Clinton campaign. .

This is the truth. His man love for Ted has really demented his brain

No, you can't redefine globalism.

A globalist does not want any kind of trade restrictions and especially doesn't want tariffs. Calling Trump a globalist is weaselly attempt at winning an argument by redefining terms. It is loser strategy and reprehensible. It is naked attempt at muddying the waters and obfuscating. A typical lawyer tactic.

I can’t understand it after seeing what Beck has done. Who in the heck is Levin’s business advisor??? No doubt this was in the works for some time.

Are you selling them only in Bangladesh? If not then you are participating in globalism. But if you believe that tariffs are never a good thing then you are a text book globalist.

Trump is participating in the global economy. But he is not a globalist. He thinks nations have every right to tariff and protect their markets as they see fit.

One can only hope he is doing this for a big payday. Cant believe he actually believes the crap he’s saying.

good grief, levin. i’m still a great admirer of your past work on conservatism. come on now, it’s time to eat some humble pie and try to understand that our Lord may be using trump in some historic fashion against the uniparty that ails all of us. seriously, have you fought the gopes all these years just to join them now? are you sure your old boss RR would be with you against trump?

on balance, the evidence now is such that trump is a true uniparty outsider. that’s a good thing. trump is attracting some good people like sen. sessions, palin, etc. what he’s doing and saying so far is really very good. he’s proven himself as a campaigner. what he’ll actually do as pres; no one really knows, including you, but come on now, get a grip. we all know what hillary or bernie will do.

Levin’s exultation of Lincoln always made me squimish.
